John Henry is a symbol of strength and endurance, of exploited labor, of the dignity of a human being against the degradations of the machine age, and of racial pride and solidarity. During World War II his image was used in U.S. government propaganda as a symbol of social tolerance and diversity. This is the most wrenching , brilliant, song about the legend ever recorded. Its pure Molina. Long live his memory...

@@wied Who is it? Looks like after Mark left, and Pete moved back to Drums. Evan played when Pete couldn’t make it in Fall of 07, so not sure. Maybe an old friend of Jason’s 🤷🏻♂️. It’s in Erin’s book, but I don’t want to look it up.
We all die, some of us earlier than others, but few achieve this level of raw poetic honesty through art. You hit this one out of the park, Jason.
Yeah it' true!! Jason, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Dan Stuart, Chuck Prophet, Steve Wynn, Rowland St Howard!
ain't that the truth.
Amen.
I found myself standing on the mountain beneath my full moon heart...
I love how much his band loved him.
❤
Don't worry, those goosebumps will go away in about twenty minutes!
No, they did not.
Not even in 20 years...
20 thousand years later when humanity is gone- aliens will find these videos and fly across space listening to magnolia electric company.. .
I miss him like a brother

Wow! Can only imagine how this sounded live. Amazing
Thanks so much for posting and preserving this! I miss him.
damn thank you after all these years, not a days gone by that you havent been missed brother
I'd never heard of Jason or the band before and got hip to them through Hiss Golden Messenger. Eternally grateful. I love this.
Having this live fade into "silver dollar" by allman Bros makes my day complete.
Outstanding!!

The best. Miss you Jason so much.

Who is the guitar player on the far left? He plays like a man possessed.

Jason Paul Evans Groth
Pete fuckin' KILLING IT on dem skins!!!!

@@alicasoto4497 eso como esta, en todos tampoco ando jajajajaj
what is the name of his guitarist?
Jason Groth
Adios
who's playing bass here?
Is Mike Kapinus.
Mike is on keyboard. That is Evan. He passed away in a house fire. The “Recording Josephine” documentary has a little tribute to him.
@@TravisKearney that’s what I thought and why I asked...thanks
@@TravisKearney That's not correct; that house fire you speak of happened two years before this show. So, um, not possible.

Sounds even better at 1.5X
This is the reason they came up with the word "shambolic". True story.
